FOREWORD 
The Club year 1920-1921 has been one of unusual activity. 
Our membership has now reached seventy-five, the limit set 
as most suitable to our accomodations and to maintaining 
the intimacy and good fellowship only possible in a small 
club. 
Two outstanding events of the year have been the pur¬ 
chase of a camp on the Ipswich River in Boxford as a center 
for field work, and the receipt of a gift from the family of 
the late George M. Bubier of the collection of mounted birds 
and ornithological literature gathered by him during his 
life. In order to hold these properties it was found neces¬ 
sary to change the legal status of the club and it is now a 
corporation organized under the laws of the State of Mass¬ 
achusetts. 
In April 1920, we compiled and published a pocket check 
list of the birds of Essex County and this list has been made 
available to the general public as well as to club members.
